i turn the gain up and that was it! I figured why tune the amp in if the sub is not playing so i never touched the gain. The gain wasnt at 0 but it was very low so i couldnt hear the sub. Thank you

I didnt touch the Gain at all. thats a good idea with the RCA to 3.5mm aux, will try that tomorrow.

Vehicle installing on: 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500, NO Bose -I used a $100 radio connector interface to maintain the door chime and other function. Head unit works just as should and speakers work -Pioneer MVH-X370BT head unit -JL JX250/1 amp -Alpine 8" Type R 4ohm subwoofer (bought in an...

I would think 2 type r in a ported box sound awsome. I have 1 10" type r in a ported box built to factory specs, powered by a 500w jl amp. I listen to a lot of rap and absolutely love it. I used to have a 13" JL w7 In a sealed Jl box. The box was to big and killed trunk space. Def could hit some...

I have a 94 corolla (the beater car for mpgs) and i have a JL 13w7 with a 1200w kenwood amp that will be going in. I'm going to get some affordable speakers within the next day or 2. What I'm trying to find is a single din head unit that will allow me to lower the bass in the speakers and...

I have a 13.5" W7 and a 1200w kenwood amp. I am wondering if 2 gauge wire is the correct wire needed for the amp wiring or would 0 gauge be better? Thanks

I did some reading and found the amp i have says "rated at 340 watts RMS x 1 into a 4Ω load, 420 watts RMS x 1 into a 3Ω load, and 500 watts RMS x 1 into a 2Ω load."

Ok here is the deal, i have a JL J2 500.1 mono amp powering a 10" Alpine type-r. Im almost positive the type-r is 4ohm. Yesterday I bought a JL 13w7 and a 1200w Kenwood amp to go in my beater car. The car still needs work so I don't want to put the W7 in yet. What I was wondering is could I...

thanks guys. i emailed them and they were able to switch me to the 4ohm type R!!

Last night I ordered a 10" Alpine Type R, that I will be using my JL J2 500.1 amp to power. The amp says on the box 500w rms@ 2 ohm and 340w rms @ 4 ohm. So obviously I want to power the sub at 2 ohm. I Ordered a 2ohm sub but after reading more I realized that the sub has dual voice coils and...

ok, did more reading. i found a CADENCE TXA-1000D for 198 bucks on ebay brand new. sounds like some good stuff. what you guys think??

wow thats a joke. you pay for all that power and dont get it. someone recomended MB Quart ONX1.1000d. i am looking for 1000w at 1ohm for around $200, that will be reliable

after reading more, i guess i should go with 2ohm subs instead of 4. that way i can power them at 1 ohm.

the rms on the 10w0s was 250w each. i figure all together for subs and amp my budget is like $500. say 300 for subs and 200 for an amp

i had a 2 JL 10W0s that i got for a great deal brand new powered by a 500w JL amp with the stock bose speakers and head unit in my 06 sierra 2500 and i used a PAC adapter to get the hookups for the amp. it sounded nice, i could play the music real high without it being distorted but the bass...
